Up-to-the-minute advice, information, resources, and, on occasion, commentary on federal and New Jersey state income taxes, and the various New Jersey property tax rebate programs, and insights and observations on tax policy and professional tax practice, by 40-year veteran tax professional Robert D Flach.

The rules for divorced parents claiming
children as dependents can cause lots of agita.What is agreed upon in the divorce agreement is not always carried
forward properly at tax time.Annette’s
piece offers some “lessons learned” from some court cases.

This piece just underscores the importance
of having your, or a, tax professional review your divorce agreement before you
sign it.Many divorce lawyers are highly
competent and knowledgeable in divorce law but don’t know their arse from a
hole in the ground when it comes to tax law.

* Now that the tax filing season is truly
officially over – the extended deadline has passed – Russ Fox borrows my annual
tax season review post title to talk about “That Was the Tax Season That Was” at TAXABLE TALK.

Russ warns that the 2017 tax filing season,
for 2016 returns, will bring new problems – more late K-1s (which I truly hate)
for limited partnerships because of more extended Form 1065s due to the new
earlier initial filing deadline, and more, in my opinion erroneous and
unnecessary, work for tax preparers due to additional due diligence for certain
tax credits.

My 1040 tax filing season has not yet
ended, as I am currently finishing up my last GD extension.

It is vitally important that anyone out
there who is still “on the fence” about dangerous and despicable Donald Trump
and is considering a vote for him as an option on November 8th, as
well as those who already plan to vote for him, read in full the humongous
14-chapter 7,900-word editorial in Friday’s New York Daily News titled “Bury
Trump In A Landslide”.

“When
deliberating over a presidential endorsement, the Daily News Editorial Board
strives to identify the person who offers the greatest promise to brighten the
futures of Americans and to safeguard the national security.

The 16-month
campaign since Trump vaingloriously entered the race has horrifyingly revealed
that the Big Lie brazenly told — built
on smaller falsehoods and spread by social media and a lust for TV ratings —
can bring the United States to the brink of electing an aspiring strongman with
no moral bearing or self-control.”

And goes on, in 14 separate sections from
“Trump the demagogue” to “Trump the enemy of democracy”, to describe in detail,
using Trump’s own words and actions, the reasons why he must never become President, and identifying
his many, many, many failures as a businessman, a candidate, and a human being.

Here are just two of the multitude of facts
the editorial presents, and certainly not the most heinous –

“During
the campaign, Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact has rated fully 71% of Trump’s statements as mostly false,
false, or pants-on-fire false. The Washington Post Fact Checker has given 65% of the Trump statements it reviewed
four Pinocchios, its worst rating for truthfulness.”

And –

“Researchers
at NBC News have catalogued Trump’s positions on major issues since the start
of the campaign.

They found, as of
early October: 18 different positions on immigration reform; 15 different
positions on banning Muslims; nine different positions on how to defeat ISIS;
eight different positions on raising the minimum wage; seven different tax
plans, and eight different strategies for dealing with the national debt.”

It is impossible to read this editorial
without coming away with the firm belief that we must, as its title suggests,
“bury Trump in a landslide” defeat in November.

Please, please, please read this editorial
in its entirety, and forward it to anybody you know who is planning on or
thinking about voting for this vile piece of excrement.

As I have been saying throughout the
campaign – if Trump wins America, and
the world, truly loses!
